Culinary Creations from The Last Frontier

When reminiscing about my childhood, Cheez-its (sadly?) have a prominent role. Playing endless hours of Tripoley on the deck, endless hours of homework, and late night hours of fun all included the cheesy treat. I whole-heartedly believe that cheese makes everything in life better. Additionally, I love fine cheese as much as the powdered stuff; … [Follow your taste buds…]

I love dirt. I love sweat. Often I forgo a shower because of time constraints. I love sports–the more you suffer, the better. I am also a hopeless romantic. I love flowers. I love cheesy one-liners. I love a chilled bottle of wine paired with cheese. More importantly, I love inwardly/outwardly/upsidedownwardly/insideoutwardly showing my deep appreciation … [Follow your taste buds…]

My obsession with cheese runs deep. Therefore, any time I can find an excuse to eat Mexican food, I take it.

Participating in my administrative internship, attending grad school, doing my actual job, and attempting to have a life takes more hours in the day than what are actually available. With that said, I cherish the short amount of time each day (well, most days) when I get to take time for myself. My workout time … [Follow your taste buds…]

When I think of chicken noodle soup, the red and white canned variety is what first comes to mind; it conjures comforting memories of “I ate this when I was home sick and only my mother’s love could make this taste so good”. Speaking of my mother, her homemade chicken soup is incredible–thick, perfectly seasoned, … [Follow your taste buds…]

After years and years of reusing, repurposing, and reinventing others’ recipes, ingredient selections, and great foodie ideas, I decided it was time to put my genius re-imaginations into one place. Alas, I have joined the blogging world. Many have suggested along the way that I document (and share!) all of the fun things I do … [Follow your taste buds…]
